After Faith reported it, Meng Kui agreed and hurried back to Yun City.

When he saw Song Fuli again, he first transmitted a message to the former: "Sir, Huoshi City is facing a siege. We must unite and work together to overcome difficulties together."

”

"Right now, we still need to borrow the strength of Song Fuli and the others to be more confident in resisting the demonic beast tide and passing through this crisis.

”

"I've already obtained the authorization of Lord Meng Kui to discuss compensation matters with Song Fuli.

”

"I'm afraid that this person will speak too much…Sigh, our situation is indeed passive.

”

"In that case, I hope that you, Sir, can help me out on account of being a citizen of South Bean!"

He nodded and quickly replied,"Meng Kui and I are officials of the same dynasty. We were originally one. Now that we are in the same boat, we should contribute more."

”

"Don't worry, I will also participate in the talks.

Royal stuff, and I have the right to make some decisions.

”

Whether it is their own position, or just a secret verbal contract, let them actively participate in negotiations.

Faith breathed a sigh of relief at the reinforcement

He invited Song Fuli to the City Lord's Mansion and invited him to accompany him. A discussion began.

It was obviously impossible to track down the stolen treasure within two days and return it to Yun Shang.

The City Lord's Mansion wants to unite with Yun Shang to resist the demon beast tide.

In order to show sincerity, he simply negotiated compensation to win Song Fuli over.

Negotiations are difficult, the three parties are entangled, and the situation is quite complicated.

On the surface, Faith and I joined forces to discuss with Song Fuli.

Secretly, Song Fuli also had a tacit understanding that they wanted the City Lord's Mansion to bleed more.

Four hours later, the compensation negotiations finally came to a conclusion.

Song Fuli laughed heartily from the living room

Faith's face was ugly.

The City Lord's Mansion had paid a huge price. Meng Kui had left him with a bottom line. He had almost failed to defend it.

Wiping the sweat stains on his head, he also paid a lot of prices on behalf of the South Bean royal family.

Song Fuli made a big profit!

Not only could he participate in the competition properly, he could also take advantage of the demon beast tide to make the City Lord's Mansion and the Southern Bean Royal Family pay high fees in exchange for their assistance.

After calculating, not only did he completely fill in the stolen treasure pit, he even earned a large sum of money!

The three parties finalize the details and sign the contract quickly.

There was a knock on the door. The City Lord's Mansion came to report.

Reporting at this time, there must be a major incident.

Faith thought there was a problem with the city defense, so he quickly let his subordinates in, only to hear about "corruption and dereliction of duty by the warehouse guards."

It turned out that when demon beasts attacked the city, Fire Persimmon City passively defended it. Fei thought about mobilizing fire persimmons and making explosives on a large scale, which would be used as a trump card in a crisis.

As a result, when his subordinate took the persimmon from the warehouse, he found that a large number of tomatoes had disappeared!

Since the harvest of the persimmon festival, the warehouse has been sealed off, and only the person in charge can enter and exit.

Therefore, the spearhead was directed at the warehouse management officials.

If it wasn't him, who else could it be? Faith was furious.

"Good, good, good, very good!"

"Corruption at this juncture is really giving my City Lord's Mansion face.

”

Faith turned pale with anger

He regretted calling in his subordinates and exposing this matter to Song Fuli.

Especially Song Fuli. He cast a look of distrust once again.

"I must have lost my mind too. How could I be so unwise to handle official business in front of outsiders!"

"Sigh…"

Faith lamented that the negotiation had really taken him a lot of effort and effort, and that he was not in his right mind.

At this moment, he was glad that they had already agreed on compensation and a joint plan and signed a contract.

Otherwise, Song Fuli would probably look down on the City Lord's Mansion even more because of this incident, thus asking for more and more money.

At this point, in order to save his reputation, Faith simply ordered: "Bring up that corrupt petty official!"

Soon, the petty official was escorted and knelt in front of Faith and the others.

"Tell me! How did you embezzle it! What did you do to forge the array records? Who did you sell that batch of tomatoes to?!" Fei Si shouted.

The Foundation Establishment level warehouse manager was scared out of his wits. He cried out,"Sir, Sir Fei Si, you're right!"

"I'm innocent, I'm not corrupt at all.

”

"Those fire tomatoes, ever since they were picked during the festival, have been sent directly to the warehouse through the teleportation array.

”

"I am only responsible for checking, I dare not touch it at all.

”

Fei Si's gaze was sharp."How dare you quibble!"

"Then you checked many times. Why didn't you discover a large-scale deficit until today when you activated the fire persimmon?"

"Although," the petty official said tearfully,"I check daily, but I only check the surroundings. I didn't discover that the pile of fire persimmon has been emptied!"

"This lowly person has failed in his inspection and is extremely negligent. This is indeed a lowly person's fault!"

"But I really didn't embezzle. I swear to God, I really didn't touch a persimmon.

”

Small officials cry, sincere feelings

"Good, good, good. You know how to avoid the important and deal with the trivial. I believe you have expected this. You have been trying to gain access to our country's laws all day, right?" Faith's face was dark, revealing killing intent.

He sighed softly. He could tell that Fei Si wanted to cut the Gordian knot quickly, so as to set an example to others and restore the reputation of the City Lord's Mansion.

This is impatience.

He stood up and said,"I just saw it with my means, but this person is not lying."

”

"How many fire persimmon did you lose?"

Faith's face was dark and he stared like a hawk

The two of them stared at each other for a while. In the end, Fei Si didn't want Song Fuli to see the internal conflict in South Bean, so she had to take a step back and report a compromise number.

His eyes lit up and he immediately recognized Faith as lying.

Clearly, Faith could only undercount in this situation.

This immediately caused his brows to furrow and his face to sink."That many?!"

Fire persimmon lost a lot, especially lost many thousands of years, thousands of years fire persimmon

Fire persimmon was similar to fire essence. If there were so many fire persimmon, it would probably cause great damage if used by someone with ulterior motives, especially when the demon beast tide was constantly attacking.

If the fire persimmon exploded and caused the front line to collapse, the demonic beasts would rush into the city, causing heavy casualties.

"This matter must be investigated. It cannot be ignored!"

Staring at the petty official, his eyes were full of light.

That's bad news. It's more important than the stolen goods.

Song Fuli said: "It was easy to steal the treasures of the City Lord's Mansion, but it was only discovered now. Could it be the same group of people?"

"The Void Gate?" Faith's eyes flashed."Very likely!"

If not, he would have come down immediately.

No matter what, he couldn't bear this responsibility on himself. It would affect his career.

But he had a bottom line. He said,"We still have to investigate before we can determine the real murderer!"

He thought that he would be able to turn around immediately after he settled the Yun Shang matter, but he did not expect that the Fire Persimmons theft case would occur.

He immediately went to the warehouse to conduct a site survey.

Under the eyes, almost everything can be hidden

Soon, he made a shocking discovery!

"Black Shadow Demon?!"

In retrospect,"seeing" once happened here

The black shadow demon hid in the fire persimmon warehouse and took away a large number of fire persimmon. Then, his body was covered in black smoke. Like an ink python, he easily came out of the warehouse.

There are six layers of arrays in the warehouse, but the ink python can come and go freely along the gaps between the arrays!"So, the black shadow demon has always been hiding here? But is he the original black shadow demon?"

During the melee, several Shadow Demons appeared.

This past image alone cannot determine the true origin of this shadow demon.

"Is the Meng family spying on themselves? Or is the City Lord's Mansion just a victim?"

For a moment, the fog covered my heart

Seeing his expression change, Faith asked anxiously,"Did you discover any key clues?"

"I found something. It's a black shadow demon who stole the fire persimmon!" After thinking for a while, he decided to tell the truth.

Faith stared."Shadow demon?!"

He was stunned for a moment before he reacted."Wait, doesn't that mean that anyone is possible?"

After the melee, the identity of the shadow demon was considered rotten. Anyone could play a hand.

nodded slowly

He said,"Fire persimmon mountain often shakes, even if there is a suppression at the bottom of the mountain, it is inevitable."

”

"The city protection array has not changed all year round. Due to the damage caused by the mountain vibration, it has to be replenished. It can be seen all year round.

”

"When the six-layer array was first set up, it was tightly connected to each other and there was no room for formation.

”

"But as time goes by, there will always be cracks due to mountain tremors.

”

"Shadow demons use these cracks to enter and exit the warehouse.

”

Faith stared again."How can you drill through such a narrow gap?"

He said,"It looks like he's using some kind of magic."

”

Faith was speechless

After a moment of silence, he completely reacted.

Fei Si immediately bowed deeply and sincerely expressed that the City Lord's Mansion was definitely the victim. This was definitely not a self-directed act.

Eyes shining, staring at Faith

"I know you're not lying.

"However, just because you didn't do it doesn't mean that the City Lord's Mansion didn't do it, right?"

Faith was speechless

The implication is that Meng Kui secretly arranged it and hid it from Faith.

It's possible.

After all, it is a taboo for the righteous path to use demonic chess pieces, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Fei Si wished she didn't know that such a thing really existed!

The more secrets he knows, the more dangerous he is.

Faith subconsciously looked at the top of the fire persimmon mountain and immediately realized that this action was inappropriate.

Frowning, he immediately promised that he would give orders to his subordinates to thoroughly investigate the front lines and all the key points in the city

"But there's nothing I can do over there.

Faith sighed and pleaded helplessly that he must follow this clue to the end! He sighed and said,"I need to think about it all."
